What they are

CapCut

CapCut is ByteDance's free video editor built around short-form content workflows. It handles trimming, captions, transitions, and green screen in a mobile-first interface that also runs in the browser. Widely used by TikTok and Reels creators for its auto-caption and template features.

Thinkific

Thinkific is a course platform where creators build, host, and sell self-paced or live courses directly to students. Coaches, educators, and subject-matter experts use it to package knowledge into paid products without needing a developer. The drag-and-drop builder is approachable, though the lower-tier plans restrict features like communities and advanced analytics behind higher paywalls.
